> What is the added value of a black box representation of a black box?

The ability to make predictions.




How? You handed me a black box. You wrote some code, and you fed it some data, and you made some prediction, and all I really have is your word for it that your prediction worked, but I sure can't do anything with it. I don't know what it is or how it works, how to extend it, how to build on it, anything.

That's not science by any useful definition of the term.
